An excerpt from "Revival Ministries International.com" entitled, "Approaching God With Freedom and Confidence" states: "
Ephesians 3:12 (NIV)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
The word “boldness” in all these verses can mean outspokenness, frankness, bluntness, and/or assurance. It can also be rendered as boldness of speech, confidence, or to speak or act freely, openly, or plainly. When you begin to talk about boldness or to act boldly, certain people might interpret it as arrogance. But it does not mean that at all. It simply means confidence - confidence in the power of God and in His grace and mercy. It means to have confidence in His word and in His promises – confidence in the fact that He has washed our sin away with His blood and removed our iniquities as far as the east is from the west. We can be both confident in what God has done in and for us - and humble, knowing that it is all because of Him and nothing to do with us."
